Make Your Picks For The Open Championship In The BC Golf Fantasy Golf Challenge
The first five legs of the British Columbia Golf Fantasy Golf Tour Challenge are in the books and we have our up to date group of qualifiers for the Grand Prize final event in the PGA TOUR FedEx Cup Championship.
Next up...The Open Championship.
The contest is easy, fun, flexible...and free. Pick your team in any, or all, of four remaining qualifying tournaments through the summer. If you finish in the top 10% of entrants in any one of them you are immediately qualified for the season-ending Championship playoff.
Emerge victorious there and you will be crowned BC Golf Fantasy Challenge champion. And that title comes with a terrific golf & stay package from Bear Mountain Resort.
The top 3 finishers from the 5th event, the U.S. Open, in our BC Golf Fantasy Golf pool were:
1. Mark Megaw (-46)*

*tiebreaker - picked 17-under as winning score (closest to actual winning score)
